PSYCHOLOGICAL HOROSCOPE ANALYSIS

for the person concerned. Therefore we have decided to limit the publication

"...Sensitivity to others combines with a creative imagination
Your imaginative abilities are supported by a deep instinctive
insight into human behaviour andmotives.
You have a profound response to the world of symbols, myths and images,
and may excel in one of the arts, such as music, painting, dance or theatre,
where your ability to intuit character and mimic it in plastic forms may
give you exceptional talents. Or you may combine your imagination and
your sensitivity to the handling of others' problems, offering much sympathy
and vision to loved ones or to those whom you might choose to counsel
or help. Your grasp of the potentials of a situation combines with sensitivity
and compassion for the needs and problems of others, and this lends a
human touch to the strange and often uncanny abilities of your intuition.
Your great gift lies in the sensing of human potential and the deeper
and more meaningful lessons to be found in life's dilemmas; and you blend
this with gentleness and a sense of timing that can allow you to midwife
this potential in yourself and in others. Your imagination never divorces
itself from the world of human feelings because your perceptiveness and
concern will always keep you related to other people, so that all your
creative hunches and inspirations ultimately work to enhance and enrich
interpersonal relationships.

Your deepest challenge in life, however, still remains the problem of
earthing your vision and sense of human potential within the confines
of material reality; and here your dependency upon human contact may make
it even more difficult for you to cope with the restrictions and responsibilities
that the world imposes upon you. Life sometimes requires a tough survival
instinct and a capacity to cope alone if necessary. Your need to express
your creative imagination through relationships with others may cause
you to fear the cold self-sufficiency that situations sometimes demand
of you. Occasionally too empathetic and idealistic for your own good,
you have difficulty in drawing boundaries around yourself, and perpetually
take on the burden of others' problems - not only because you are compassionate,
but also because you do not know how to be firm about your own limits.
And because your natural romanticism tends to express itself through faith
in the potential of a relationship, you find it hard to face the imperfect
reality of another person, preferring to live in a fantasy-image of what
he or she could become rather than accepting the person who confronts
you in actuality. You need to learn greater detachment and a more objective
vision of life, and also could benefit from more overt stating of your
ideas and needs to others - rather than hoping to be instantaneously and
telepathically understood. Not everyone is as intuitive as you, and being
able to be clear and direct about who you are and what you want can help
you to a much greater sense of confidence in inhabiting that concrete
world which you both fear and yet ultimately must embrace in order to
feel real and secure in life..."

"...The spirit of eternal youth dominates the stage

Whatever your actual age, there is something in you which will never
grow old. Life is a perpetual unfinished novel for you, in which anything
could lie around the next corner; and even if you carry considerable worldly
responsibilities, you carry them lightly, always feeling as though somehow
it isn't yet the real thing, but only a practise run - while the limitless
potential within you has yet to be fully actualised. Thus you tend to
live a kind of provisional life, never fully contented, never fully arrived.
This quality of viewing life as a series of steps toward an unknown future
tends to make you restless in the best and worst senses. You will never
settle into stagnant complacency dreaming of the glories of your youth,
for you carry your youth whithin you and will be receptive to change and
new ideas all your life. But you also have a tendency to leave behind
those projects and people with which you have become bored, and are therefore
inclined to walk away before the fruits of your labours are realised;
for the next pasture always seems greener. As the old proverb says, it
is better to travel than to arrive - at least, better in your eyes..."

"...The dilemma of being a child of the gods You are convinced that there is something special about you -
that you have a unique creative vision to offer the world, and that this
must not be damaged or stifled by the sort of boring tasks which are the
lot of more ordinary folk. Others might understandably accuse you of a
certain arrogance, because of your inner conviction of specialness - as
though you were a divine child of the cosmos and therefore exempt from
the insult of an ordinary fate. Yet it is not really arrogance, and your
charm and sunny nature compensate a good deal for your self-preoccupation.
It is just that you hear a different drumbeat, a call to a kind of destiny
which you feel you must fulfill. Without this conviction, life is arid
and pointless to you..."

"...Idealism and vision struggle against
authority of all kinds You enjoy kicking at anything which seems to you staid, rigid
or antiquated. This can sometimes make you the enemy of authority, and
you no doubt have a rather chequered past full of little episodes where
you fell foul of the presiding powers in some way. Although time has brought
you greater self-control and tolerance, time has not lessened your belief
in your right to freedom on the most basic level. You resent being treated
like a child by a heavy-handed parent, even if on occasion your behaviour
is downright childish. There is a progressive and visionary quality to
your thinking which rejects hypocrisy, narrow-mindedness and conventional
roles - particularly sexual roles. Your approach to life contains a curious
combination of romanticism and cynicism - romantic because you are a perfectionist
who believes that life could be better and more meaningful (which means
you will never just put up with a situation for the sake of security or
conventional morality), and cynical because you have little faith in permanence,
particularly in the realm of the heart (which means you will not risk
allowing yourself to need others too much)..."

"...A hidden side that favours traditional values In contrast to your bright, restless and rebellious conscious
personality, there is another protagonist in your inner psychic drama.
This hidden figure contains all those qualities which you have excluded
from your values and your outer behaviour in order to retain the intellectual,
emotional and physical freedom you crave. The shadow-side of your personality
is considerably more conventional, conservative and traditional than you
might like to admit; and if you consider honestly the sometimes disproportionately
negative reactions that you display when confronted with such qualities
in other people and in social institutions, you may glimpse within yourself
a secret sympathy with these more old-fashioned values. The problem is
that you strive to be a rebel, a forward-thinking and unique individualist;
and you would have to make peace with a slightly less glossy, glamourous
and stereotyped self-image if you are going to integrate your shadow.
Yet upon this integration depends your capacity to produce anything really
worthwhile with your vision and your talents; and, even more importantly,
you need this hidden side of yourself to feel real..."

"...Confidence in the power of human will and effort You have great confidence in your power to shape the future and
your capacity to make your life into anything you wish, as long as you
are willing to make the necessary effort. Fatalistic philosophies are
not for you; nor are those ideologies that transfer ultimate responsibility
for one's life and one's destiny onto society, the state, or any other
external agency. You find it hard to be patient and understanding with
those apparently hapless souls who appear to be the victims of unfortunate
circumstances. For you, there is no such thing as a blameless victim,
because, as the poet William Ernest Henley once wrote: "I am the master
of my fate, I am the captain of my soul." And if a person seems to be
unable to take charge of his or her life, well, then, in your estimation,
that individual is at best blind and unconscious, and at worst lazy, apathetic
and infantile. You carry within you an heroic image of the potency of
human effort; and even if you are religious and believe in God, you are
still convinced that God helps those who help themselves..."

"...Lack of a real relationship with him The subjective image of your father portrayed in your birth horoscope
is a problematic one, because on some level you seem not to have had a
relationship with him at all. This may seem strange to you if your father
was physically present in your childhood, but it is the inner experience
which the horoscope portrays, and it is on the inner level that you have
been "unfathered". This does not imply that your father was a "bad" father,
or wilfully neglectful. But probably he was unable, either through physical
absence or because of a weak or withdrawn personality, to offer much in
the way of genuine support and encouragement to you..."

"...Tension and irritability The subjective image of your mother portrayed in your birth horoscope
is a tense and uneasy one. Although your mother might have appeared conventional
in her behaviour, and devoted to her family's needs, she is pictured in
your horoscope as a strong and independent spirit, who was perhaps not
as able to accept the limitations and compromises of family life as she
pretended to be. Thus she suppressed a natural restlessness and a rather
explosive temper which sprang from a strong desire to break free and pursue
her own goals and dreams without the restrictions of marriage and motherhood.
In many ways your mother was ahead of her time, for she probably needed
professional or creative outlets for her excellent mind and dynamic energy;
but the moral and social strictures of her background may have made it
difficult for her to make full use of her abilities. If she was fortunate
enough during your childhood to have managed a lifestyle where she had
plenty of personal freedom and possibly an independent career, then you
will have benefitted from this freedom by having your own strong individuality
encouraged. For you have inherited her original and independent nature,
and a home and a conventional family life, although maybe important, are,
by themselves, not enough for you..."

"...The need for emotional honesty You are capable of driving almost any woman into insecure and
possessive behaviour if you withhold affection at the critical moment,
or if you play one woman against another. This is not a reflection of
women's incurable voraciousness, but rather, a reflection of your own
internal conflict. If you truly wish to be free of commitment, then try
to be honest enough to live by that decision, and stop stringing women
along. If you want marriage, or a loyal and monogamous relationship, then
try to be brave enough to face your own problems rather than trying to
have your cake and eat it too; for as Confucius said, He who tries to
have cake and eat it too winds up with egg on face..."

"...Exploring the mystery of faith There is one area of your life where any effort to gain more
insight will result a greatly increased feeling of self- respect and confidence
- for this is the domain of your deepest anxieties as well as, paradoxically,
your greatest strength. It is your faith in life, and what might be called
your religious or spiritual world-view, which is so important to explore;
for you have a strangely negative and fearful response to your own future
which reflects some deeply buried cynicism or loss of belief. Because
you are a naturally reflective person who seeks answers to broad philosophical
questions, it would be worth exploring why you should have so little trust
in your own right to eventual happiness and achievement in life. Beneath
your fears lie all the inherited patterns of your family's religious and
moral attitudes, and you have a deep need to formulate your own individual
relationship with what you call God. You are neither gullible nor shallow
about philosophical and spiritual questions, but you are secretly plagued
by a rather judgmental Old Testament God lurking about somewhere in the
unconscious who equates goodness with hard work and suffering, and sin
with selfishness and frivolity. Try to face your fantasies, fears and
secret assumptions in the realm of moral and spiritual values. The more
insight and understanding you gain, the stronger and wiser you will become.

Thus one of your chief fears - of unashamedly expressing
your own individuality - can become an indestructible base which provides
you with the faith and confidence to explore those darker aspects of life
which are so integral to your journey. For in taking the risks necessary
to be yourself rather than a pale imitation of collective normality, you
can discover joy and meaning; and this in turn casts an entirely different
light on those dimensions of human emotion which at first seem so primitive
and destructive. Faith in your own purpose transforms your unusual path
into something enriching and rewarding, rather than the depressing or
frightening encounter you fear..."

Short Biography of
Nelson Mandela

Nelson Mandela Biography
Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela was born in Transkei, South Africa on July 25*,1918.
His father was Chief Henry Mandela of the Tembu Tribe. Mandela himself
was educated at University College of Fort Hare and the University of
Witwatersrand and qualified in law in 1942. He joined the African National
Congress in 1944 and was engaged in resistance against the ruling National
Party's apartheid policies after 1948. He went on trial for treason in
1956-1961 and was aquitted in 1961.

After the banning of the ANC in 1960, Nelson Mandela argued
for the setting up of a military wing within the ANC. In June 1961, the
ANC executive considered his proposal on the use of violent tactics and
agreed that those members who wished to involve themselves in Mandela's
campaign would not be stopped from doing so by the ANC. This led to the
formation of Umkhonto we Sizwe. Mandela was arrested in 1962 and sentenced
to five years' imprisonment with hard labour. In 1963, when many fellow
leaders of the ANC and the Umkhonto we Sizwe were arrested, Mandela was
brought to stand trial with them for plotting to overthrow the government
by violence. His statement from the dock received considerable international
publicity. On June 12, 1964, eight of the accused, including Mandela,
were sentenced to life imprisonment. From 1964 to 1982, he was incarcerated
at Robben Island Prison, off Cape Town; thereafter, he was at Pollsmoor
Prison, nearby on the mainland.

During his years in prison, Nelson Mandela's reputation
grew steadily. He was widely accepted as the most significant black leader
in South Africa and became a potent symbol of resistance as the anti-apartheid
movement gathered strength. He consistently refused to compromise his
political position to obtain his freedom.

Nelson Mandela was released on February 18, 1990. After
his release, he plunged himself wholeheartedly into his life's work, striving
to attain the goals he and others had set out almost four decades earlier.
In 1991, at the first national conference of the ANC held inside South
Africa after the organization had been banned in 1960, Mandela was elected
President of the ANC while his lifelong friend and colleague, Oliver Tambo,
became the organisation's National Chairperson.
